Miami Geo Quiz #3: Tallest Flagpole in Miami-Dade County

How well do you know the spaces and places constituting greater metropolitan Miami?

For the third installment of the Miami Geo Quiz, look at the photo above and/or watch this video from December 2013 of a fresh Star-Spangled Banner being erected along the tallest flagpole in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and the second tallest in the entire State of Florida.

(No; I had absolutely no idea about these obscure flag factoids, but the kind gentleman from Jones, Lang, LaSalle — the commercial real estate / flag contractor firm — mentioned it while I was filming the flag being raised into the air.)

It’s one impressively large flag!

Miami Geo Quiz #3: Provide (1) the name and (2) exact street address of the downtown Miami building/property to which this flagpole belongs. (This time, you’re allowed to cheat and Google the street address.)

Hint: It’s the same building depicted in the image at the top of this post. One can also catch a few glimpses of the building’s unique zig-zag architecture toward the, admittedly choppy, end of the video.

OK – you’ve totally got me hooked on these quizzes — this can’t end well. It’s right in front of the Southeast Financial Center building at 200 S Biscayne Blvd. I’ve admired that flag from inside when I’ve visited one of the offices on the 5th floor, but I didn’t know that was the tallest flagpole in the county.
